Train of Thought: Reflections on the Coast Starlight

Wells Baum

Book Description

In travel, we find ourselves.

Uninspired with the routine of daily corporate life, Paul takes an impromptu trip out to the West Coast to ride the train from Seattle down to Los Angeles with the aim of writing a book. Along the way, he faces all the roadblocks one encounters in penning a novel, including writer’s block, self-doubt, and digital distractions.

Brimming with Paul’s curious journal entries and profound observations, this 36-hour odyssey is essential reading for both the wanderer and aspiring artist seeking a deeper pathway in life.
